BULLDOGS
2020 finish: 15th
2021 gains: Jack Hetherington, Nick Cotric, Corey Waddell, Kyle Flanagan
2021 losses: Sauaso Sue, Reimis Smith, Kerrod Holland, Kieran Foran, Marcelo Montoya, Aiden Tolman, Jack Cogger, Tim Lafai, Isaiah Tass
Premiership window: Slowly being pushed open
Explainer: It’s been a rough few years for proud Canterbury fans but it seems there’s light at the end of the tunnel, albeit a long tunnel. There’s signs of life at Belmore with the signing of new coach Trent Barrett, and some young quality in Nick Cotric and Kyle Flanagan. It’s a rebuild, make no mistake, and the Bulldogs won’t be in a position to compete for a title for another couple of years. They’re still hopeful of luring representative stars like Josh Addo-Carr and Brandon Smith to the club. They may not play finals in 2021 but expect them to improve.
From foxsports. If we can get burton for 2021 and another signing or if barrett can get the players we have to improve heaps and play a good brand of footy, may be we can compete for a spot in top 8. As it is though the above is a fair assessment imo.
